I have a bunch of "modules" each in a separate directory (each is not
necessarily a rtems task). Do you think it is ok to build each one as a
partial link and then in the last build step link each partial against
rtems libraries? That seems reasonable to me. Two more questions:

1. Which rtems library(s) file(s) do you do the final link against?
2. What is the deal with the manaager linking, i.e., no-*.rel?

(Relating to question 1 and 2, when I watch netdemo build I only see
linking against no-*.rel files.)
